That's true; certainly it was true for the ethernet card we were using.

I personally think a sysctl is fine ... you'd need sysctl on the
install floppy, of course.  I also think Perry's suggestion of allocating
interrupts in reverse-order would work as well (but that might be hard,
because right now the pcmcia code calls isa_intr_alloc(), and I'm not
sure what changing the order of _that_ would do).
